Three-year pilot program to attract Top Foreign Talent

The South China tech hub of Shenzhen has launched a three-year pilot program to attract high-level foreign talent, including top scientists and entrepreneurs, to help turn it into a global technology and innovation powerhouse.

The program includes a set of standards implemented Tuesday to certify urgently needed high-end foreign talent in Shenzhen, the country’s pioneer of reform and opening-up in the southern province of Guangdong, according to a notice (link in Chinese) issued by the city government.

Based on national rules to attract high-end talent from abroad, the Shenzhen standards include elements tailored to local needs, the notice said. For instance, people who win the top three prizes in the finals of the China (Shenzhen) Innovation and Entrepreneurship International Competition qualify for certification.

Other high-end talents mentioned by the standards include Nobel Prize nominees, startup founders who own intellectual property rights, academicians from international sciences and engineering academies, as well as chief scientists or key members of any major international science or engineering project.

Foreign nationals in Shenzhen can apply for certification via their employers, who will submit the applications online, and wait five days until the local science and technology innovation commission issues a confirmation letter.

US adds 7 Chinese supercomputing companies to export blacklist

The Commerce Department on Thursday added seven Chinese supercomputing entities to a U.S. economic blacklist citing national security concerns.

The department added Tianjin Phytium Information Technology, Shanghai High-Performance Integrated Circuit Design Center, Sunway Microelectronics, the National Supercomputing Center Jinan, the National Supercomputing Center Shenzhen, the National Supercomputing Center Wuxi and the National Supercomputing Center Zhengzhou to its blacklist.

The seven entities were blacklisted for "building supercomputers used by China's military actors, its destabilizing military modernization efforts, and/or weapons of mass destruction programs."

The new rules, which restrict U.S. exports to the entities in question, take effect immediately. However, they do not apply to goods from U.S. suppliers that are already en route.

突发！美国商务部新增7个“实体清单”

美国商务部网站公告宣称，将7个中国超级计算机实体列入所谓“实体清单”，声称其涉嫌“破坏军事现代化的稳定”。该部工业与安全局(BIS)已将7个中国超级计算机实体列入所谓“实体清单”，宣称“因其从事的活动有悖于美国国家安全或外交政策利益”。

美商务部公告显示，涉及实体包括天津飞腾信息技术有限公司、上海集成电路技术与产业促进中心、深圳市信维微电子有限公司等。这3家公司中有2家与A股公司有关，其中飞腾信息技术有限公司为中国长城持股31.5%子公司，深圳市信维微电子有限公司为信维通信全资子公司。

New policies to expand pharma, NEV, gaming sectors in Hainan

China on Thursday announced a slew of measures supporting industries such as drugs, new energy vehicles, gaming and aerospace in the southern province of Hainan, as part of moves to build a testing ground there for economic reforms.

Last June, China gave the status of a "free trade port" to Hainan, which it aims to make fully functional by 2035, building an offshore center of trade and finance to streamline the flow of commodities, capital and talent.

Travel flows have surged to Hainan, known for its sandy beaches and resort-lined coast, as Chinese travellers unable to go abroad because of the COVID-19 pandemic splurged domestically since last year.

Authorities will support Hainan to build charging stations and battery swapping facilities across the island for NEVs and push for the application of autonomous driving technology, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said in a statement on its website.

China will support Hainan to develop online sales of prescription drugs and encourage firms - both domestic and foreign - to develop new drugs there, the NDRC said, adding that it will push for an international centre for transplantation sciences in the southern province.

An investment fund dedicated to the healthcare industry would also be set up, and Beijing might also delegate the approval of domestic online games to Hainan, the NDRC said.

The government will also step up support to build the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site into "world-class" site for commercial spacecraft.
